The Reigning Couple just left the hospital. Her Majesty and His Royal Highness were, as expected, very brief in their comments. I still maintain that you do not speak to the monarch unless spoken to… but the press is obviously not aware of this. So, a bit annoyed, I can ‘report’ that the couple stated that they were very happy, that the parents are well and happy and that the Princess is very beautiful. And Her Majesty, when asked, made it very clear that they had no intention whatsoever to ‘help’ The Crown Prince Couple decide what to call the new-born princess!

Gee that was a really quick visit I'm a little shocked at the time line here. I thought they would spend more time inside the hospital. Surprised!

Congratulations! A baby girl is wonderful!! Mary is going to enjoy dressing her up!!

You're totally right!! And I bet she's going to be a doll!!! I thought it was going to be a boy, but this is better, she's the first royal princess born in Denmark for years and I bet Queen Margrethe is very happy with her first granddaughter!!! Congrats to the Danish Royal Family!!!

Now I heard a bit more of what The Reigning Couple said. First of all, Her Majesty said “she is such a sweet and lovely girl”. When asked what they had told Prince Christian, Her Majesty replied that they had decided to leave that to the parents. Moreover, Her Majesty revealed that she had held the Princess in her arms, and when asked whom she thought the Princess looked like, she wittily replied that, “babies are very sweet, but look like, well, babies”. When asked whether he was happy to have count a girl in the number of grandchildren, His Royal Highness The Prince Consort said that, “now, they have one of each”.

To celebrate the birth of a little princess in Denmark, Danish political party Dansk Folkeparti has donated 25,000 kroner (app. 4,600 USD) to the Danish Association for Mental Health of which Her Royal Highness is patron.

Queen Margrethe has always said that she wanted to have a girl herself after the two boys so let's hope this little princess can be a consolation...
